Jot Girl Kim J put this one together and it's just so perfectly her with all that yummy sunshiny yellow! I couldn't wait to get started on this one...yellow always makes me happy. :D

Here's what I came up with...

I decided to scrap this pic of the kids and I that my hubby snapped on Mother's Day this year. I really should get more photos of myself with them...I don't often think to pop into the photos too.

I had loads of yellow bits and pieces in my stash (because it's one of my fave colours to scrap with!) so I had no trouble gathering all my goodies together. I used a swipe of yellow paint for my background and then layered everything together under my photo, added some enamel dots and hearts, my title, journaling and it was done. :)

As always we really hope you'll join in the challenge! It's always fun to see how different everyone's entries are using the same mood board. You can see all the details HERE along with more beautiful samples from the other Jot Girls.

Today I thought I'd share one of the layouts I created for Issue 14 of Jot. I thoroughly enjoyed putting this page together for a couple of reasons...because I really loved these photos of Madi doing her finger knitting and recording this memory on paper...but also because I finally got my hands on some of the totally gorgeous Pink Paislee Fancy Free Collection!!!

Oh this collection is just so pretty...and everything co-ordinates together so perfectly! It's a new fave of mine for sure....LOVE!!! <3 p="">

Madi was so proud of herself when she mastered finger knitting and created her very own scarf...and I was a super proud crafty Mum!!! She ended up making numerous scarves all in one weekend because she just couldn't stop! It was so fun to see her creating and enjoying herself so much. :)

This page appears in the Story Telling Gallery in the current issue of Jot Magazine. :)
